Me, I'm an Oldies person. I like Sam Cooke, Beatles, Beach Boys, Creedence, and a million other Oldies by people I've never even heard of, as well as some country, like Garth Brooks and especially Trisha Yearwood. Basically, I can listen to anything that's not rap or heavy metal.

So, anybody care to pitch in?

***NOTE: I am usually subjected to this, and for the most part do not listen to this by choice. That's the problem w/ having a cousin in the house w/ opposite musical preferences. He's beginning to appreciate film music more, and well... I'm trying to be fair by doing him the same. I won't be converting though.............

Besides film music, classical music would probably be the other genre I listen and pay attention to the most today. There's some fantastic material there...

good topic.

I like what you could call "symphonoc rock" like Yes (and all their incarnations), ELO, Asia (my favorite), Alan Parsons, Journey, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, and, of course, one of the greatest musicians of our times, Weird Al Yankovic! (snicker,snicker).
But I also listen to just about anything, except country. (However, Shania Twain rocks!)

Just my 2 cents.

NP-Star Trek:TMP

Huey Lewis and the News
INXS
Duran Duran
Yanni
John Tesh
Tangerine Dream
Belinda Carlisle
U2
The B-52's
Ace of Base

Plus many others, too many to list.

I'm open to almost anything now - my tastes tend to shift every so often. Now, most of my "popular" music is almost as 'obscure' as my interest in film music -- Guadalcanal Diary, House of Freaks, Kelly Hogan/The Jody Grind, Ed's Redeeming Qualities, Stan Ridgway/Wall of Voodoo, The Billy Nayer Show, Dieselhed, Nashville Pussy... too many others to name that not a lot of people have heard of.

I've a liking for 'alternative' country, and have developed a taste for surf & garage bands, also.

It has long tracks...great to drive to and there is an abundence of different styles of it out there. The kind I listen to isn't really dancing techno its more moody, atmospheric and gritty. Its great for me when I draw comics.

Groups I listen to : FLUKE (The best damn band in the world!!!)
GEARWHORE
JUNO REACTOR
CRYSTAL METHOD
KMFDM(more industrial rock stuff)
FAT BOY SLIM

NP : Bad Boys Score

What I can't stand is Gangsta Rap, Heavy, heavy Metal Rock.

Scott

NP:Old American Songs (Complete)

Classical:
Sergei Prokowiev
Dmitri Shostacovich
Vaughn Williams
Several other Eastern European composers

I dislike:
Techno
Hard Rock
Jazz (not everything though)
Gospel

Metallica
Collective Soul
REM

My interest in film scores grew basically out of my interest in contemporary classical composers and their music (and the fact that I like a lot of movies)... a lot of good stuff gets written for movies, and I cannot watch a movie without noticing its score. There are quite a few film scores in my CD collection.

Basically, I was already listening to a lot of classical music before I bought my first film score, but then again, I started listening to music rather early.

I also enjoy some good jazz music, and even rock/pop at times, though considerably less (I like just about everything Peter Gabriel does).

im new to this board...i used to hang out on the FSM board....anyway....

I listen mostly to 80's music (im 23) as i consider it to be the most prolific decade for music novelty. The 90s really sucked in comparaison. (IMHO)

These include, but are not limited to, The Pet shop boys, Duran Duran, Depeche mode, Marillion, U2, New order, The KLF, St Etienne (more of a 90s band but with roots in the 80s).

But it think 50% of my music listening time is reserved to filmscores.

He was still young when murdered in New York about 10 years ago.

Timmer, Jaco rules. A guy at work turned me onto him. I love his brand of funky jazz, kind of like Herbie Hancock (whom, if I am not mistaken, he collaborated with). Amazing bass player.

Ah screw it I don't listen to that much electronic anyway.

I'm a HUGE Queen and Bealtes fan.

Also like some mid-90's pop/rockish stars like Natalie Merchant (or 10,000 Maniacs), Alanis Morrisette, Seal, Jewel, Counting Crows, Blues Traveller, TLC, etc. Nice music, all of it.

Big on ethnic (mostly Celtic) music as well, such as Enya, Clannad Lorena McKennitt, and Enigma.

Jazz--Incognito, Macy Gray, Richard Elliott, Keiko Matsui and some earlier Big Band artists like Duke Ellington grace my shelves.

Classical - Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner are my prime choices. I Also like Vivaldi. I'm mostly into the Baroque period though.

I guess thats it for me. A nice over-all variety if I do say so myself.

I also like Simon & Garfunkel, Yanni, and other softer music.

Music I hate, teenage music like Jerone mentioned (sorry dude, but there's just so much better stuff out there ), Hip-Hop Rap Crap, and Country.

As a whole I think I have about 270 CD's, only half of which are soundtracks

Ohhh and I can't forget my fetish for 80's music!!

Van Halen (the Sammy Hagar years), Metallica, Aerosmith, Poison, Warrant, Duran Duran, The Police, The Commodores, Kool & the Gang, Chic, KC & The Sunshine Band, Madona, U2, Night Ranger, Gin Blossoms, Chicago, INXS, Alanis Morrisette, The Cranberries, The Eagles, Hootie and The Blowfish. ZZ Top, Jimmy Buffet, Tom Petty, Phil Collins and Jewel.
